“This is a PSA for anybody who uses Google Photos or any photo app that has facial recognition,” she says. “If you are my son watching this, keep scrolling now. Do not watch this video.”
She quickly realizes he’s not going to listen and says, “Who am I f***ing kidding, you’re gonna watch it anyways, but I warned you.”

The technology can group images of one person into a folder. So, as a way for Tonin to share photos of her son with her mother, she used Google facial recognition to create an album of her son.
Well… there was a little bit of a flaw with that thinking.
One day, Tonin wanted to spice up her relationship with a little sexy video.
